Pros

Good benefits, decent salary, some interesting work

Cons

Management seems focused on protecting their own butts and enforcing the status quo. They're happy to answer questions and help you out... so long as it makes them look and feel more important than you. But there's zero mentorship in or opportunities for career development.
